And there you have it, the GOP in a nutshell... and a quote for Obama to use in his presidential campaign.

Added: Keith Olbermann tweeted me, saying he believes this doesn't seem to say what I seem to think it says. POTUS then tweeted that he had an extended conversation with Sen. Cornyn since this exchange, including asking him 3 times to clarify--he declined.

My response, in case you wondered, was that my expectations of the worst from Republicans often leads me to negative conclusions and interpretations.
